Backfire?, i need help
ok this started to happen about yesterday when i was driving to a location. i was at the stop sign and i started taking off, M/T, in 1st gear and i step on it till about 4000 rpm because the injen sri sounds cool, anyways, right before i shifted into 2nd it made a loud poping noise i thought i ran over a bottle but i didnt. then today it did it again when i was in 2nd gear i was going in and out of the gas pedal in between 2500-3000 rpm and make a loud pop noise again.
what can cause this loud pop noise?

well if it were a backfire it would be the result of a lean condition where the mixture of air and fuel leans out enough to where is fails to ignite consistently. This, in turn allows some un-burnt fuel to get into the exhaust pipes. Then when the engine does fire, these un-burnt gasses are ignited in the exhaust pipe, causing the backfire so if you really want to be sure that it is a backfire rev your engine and then let off the gas and more often than not the car will backfire

well my car is all stock except a Injen SRI, someone told me that it could be the timing is off because it goes back into the intake and makes a pop sound,said i should retard my timing. The sound is coming from the engine bay and i dont think its from the stock exhaust?
But could this it?^^
